I just unwrapped a package from London and found a copy of the New Inside Out Advanced Workbook, U.K. edition, published by Macmillan and used in secondary and adult English classes to teach effective communication. The U.S. edition is due soon.
A snarky, tongue-in-cheek essay I wrote a few years ago, The 10 Best Ways to Win an Argument, is featured in the workbook. I wrote the article for a contest hosted by Darren Rowse of problogger and it won me $500 at the time. I guess it’s the article that just keeps on giving!
Oh thank goodness –
I've tried most all of them at one time or another
yet it is so (painfully) helpful to get this refresher….
Ha! I love it. I'm sorry to troll, but I just stumbled onto this after blogging a similar, snarky list of how to win arguments…using the confusing power of illogic to brain punk your way to success. If you're looking for a quick chuckle, it's at my site: <a href="http://www.garthsundem.com” target=”_blank”>www.garthsundem.com.
